Application

Dipeptidyl Peptidase VII (DPP7), also known as DPP2 or quiescent cell proline dipeptidase, is a post-proline cleaving aminopeptidase that is expressed in quiescent lymphocytes . DPP7 is used to study the regulation of cell quiescence . Like DPP4, DPP7 may be useful in diabetes and vascular disease research .

Biochem/physiol Actions

DPP7 is essential for maintaining lymphocytes and fibroblasts in G(0). The inhibition of DPP7 results in apoptosis, which is mediated by the induction of c-Myc and p53 . DPP7 has strong sequence homology with prolylcarboxypeptidase and is active at both acidic and neutral pH.

Physical properties

Contains amino acids 29 to end with a C-terminal His tag, MW=89.1 kDa

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 picomole of Ala-Pro-AMC per minute at pH 7.4 at 25 deg °C

Physical form

Supplied as a solution in 40 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 110 mM NaCl, 2.2 mM KCl, 220 mM imidazole, and 20% glycerol.

Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL), a fatal, lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the CLN2 gene, results in a deficiency of tripeptidyl-peptidase I (TPP-I) activity in neurons. Our prior studies showed that delivery of the human CLN2 cDNA

The boroProline-based dipeptidyl boronic acids were among the first DPP-IV inhibitors identified, and remain the most potent known. We introduced various substitutions at the 4-position of the boroProline ring regioselectively and stereoselectively, and incorporated these aminoboronic acids into a series

Human telomeres possess a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) overhang of TTAGGG repeats, which can self-fold into a G-quadruplex structure. POT1 binds specifically to the telomeric overhang and partners with TPP1 to regulate telomere lengthening and capping, although the mechanism remains elusive.

Inhibitors of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) provide a strategy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. DPP IV rapidly inactivates the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Inhibition of DPP IV prolongs and

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)) regulates activities of numerous ion channels including inwardly rectifying potassium (K(ir)) channels, KCNQ, TRP, and voltage-gated calcium channels. Several studies suggest that voltage-gated potassium (K(V)) channels might be regulated by PI(4,5)P(2). Wide expression of K(V) channels in
